The longest lived organisms on Earth are the Aspen Groves in Colorado. The entire grove grows from a single root system that can be as old as 60,000 - 70,000 years old. These trees are so old that they can no longer propagate by seeds. The climate has changed so much during their life span that the "proper" environmental triggers no longer exist in their habitat and they never go to seed.
